I am curious about your Charles Merritt, I'm looking for a Charles Merritt, also known as A. Clark Merritt, who married a Sarah A. Sly around 1855, they had at least two children Charles (Charlie)and Hulda. Sarah died in 1858 and I believe that Charles may have married 1-2 times after that, possibly a Cordelia or Elizabeth or both? I'm afriad I don't have much more information than that. If you have any clues or if this doesn't match at all please let me know! Thank you!
